Welcome to the World Cup! Oh wait, except that guy.
It’s that time again! That’s right- the World Cup! If you are like my family you are super excited about watching some guys run around a lot and kick a ball. And if you are like me, you have no idea what’s going on.
Everyone in Cape Town, South Africa is even more excited about hosting nine of the games this year. But one problem that every city has to confront has recently surfaced: What do you do about the homeless blight (when you are hosting one of the most important sporting events in the world)? Cape Town’s answer: Move ‘Em.
As many as 800 people have been relocated to a shanty town outside of the city to make way for the over 300,000 soccer fans that are projected to arrive for the games this Friday. Allegedly many have been coerced, forced, and tricked into getting onto a bus and then dumped inthe middle of rows and rows of tin shanties in an area outside of the city. As one local official noted, “You have to clean your house before you have guests over.”
Wow.
Personally, I think these people should show ‘em all and join this league instead.
